We expect to continue this momentum for fiscal 2007 while continuing to work diligently on improving our profitability. At year end, the Companys backlog is at an all time high of approximately $147 million, led by the strong bookings in the Security division.

Mr. Chopra continued, Each of our three business divisions grew in fiscal 2006.  The Security division continued to make positive strides in its development programs, while simultaneously growing revenues by 10% and operating income by $4.8 million over the prior year. We expect that the Security division will see continued growth in fiscal 2007 led by the improvement in the cargo and vehicle inspection market and the introduction of its first product in the international Hold Baggage Screening market. Our Healthcare divisions fiscal 2006 revenues increased 13% and operating income increased by 75% from the prior year. The Healthcare division is poised for continued success in fiscal 2007, strengthened by the recent acquisition of Del Mar Reynolds. The Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division had an outstanding year, increasing external revenues by 47% and operating income by 102% from the prior year and is well positioned for continued strong results in fiscal 2007.

The Company has not previously issued guidance for fiscal 2007.  The Company provides the following guidance for fiscal 2007:
Fiscal 2007
    Net sales of $535 - $545 million, or year-over-year growth of 18 - 20%.  The Company expects report earnings per share of $0.35 to $0.45 for fiscal 2007 as compared to a loss per share of $(0.14) in fiscal 2006.
Fiscal 2007 First Quarter
